Here is a link to a great post about how to make a garbage truck costume for Halloween. We did this for our son in 2008 and he loved it. The only problem was that the costume got heavy and he wanted to take it off after about an hour. Also, people love this thing. Some motorheads at one house went crazy. I think they wanted to steal it.

In case the link is dead, I am copying the post below:

Here are some pictures of Matt's Garbageman costume from last year. Below I've included some instructions on making it yourself. Enjoy!

Sorry about that.

And here's Mr First Prize Garbageboy at last year's Halloween party at the Park District. You wore it well, lil' dude!
